EQ IIFollow

Oh, I spent enough late, drunken nights with BT to see the real him. Honestly, it's pretty horrifying, but it didn't stop me rubbing my cunt the whole time.

You're as bad as shadorelm.

I actually started an EQ2 trial after reading this thread, since I was bored and looking for something to play. It's interesting enough, I suppose, but the battle system reminds me a lot of WoW, except for the little combo system. I also suspect that where I started isn't too popular, since I've seen some 4 people total so far.

Still, at least it's not the same quests I've done ten thousand times. There's enough differences that I'll at least buy a month's subscription and see where I am from there.

Although very true, I do find that the two old starting zones (the Islands for Qeynos and Freeport) do offer more explanation and start off slower than the later starting zones.

Unfortunately, SOE really decimated the lower lvl quests in the cities themselves, so it's not that easy for a beginner once they're off those islands. It's easy to get lost there, not all that many other players there too.

When you double click a broker, you get the auction screen, you can search for items to buy. You need to click on the "sell" tab before you get to the screen used to sell items.

You put bags in the slots so you can put items in the bags to sell. You either work at a broker or in your appartment through the board you received when you first bought an appartment. You can't buy in your appartment, only sell or browse through all items offered for sale. You need to go to a broker to actually buy an item.

If you put items in those bags either at the broker or in your appartment, there's a fee others have to pay when they buy those things. However, there are salesman's crates (player made, some given as veteran's rewards) you can put as furniture in your appartment. If you put the items you want to sell in those, other players can come to your appartment and they buy directly from you, no commission's fee to be paid. Some items are rare enough or sold fast enough or low enough in price so the fee doesn't matter much, but for the higher priced items, that fee can be quite a bit. Having that type of salesman's crate can give vendors an edge over those that don't use this.

You enter the residence directly, but you can (in theory, if all the other players allow it, you can place restrictions on who is allowed to enter your appartment) visit anyone's appartment. Or at least, anyone's appartment who bought one where you are entering. There are a lot of different adresses, the size ranges from one room to a whole house. And then there's the guild halls, those are very large. Plenty of room for decoration.

Oh yeah, you get the first small appartment for free, but there's a weekly upkeep of five silver. The larger the appartment, the more expensive it gets to buy and upkeep, there are guild requirements too involved and status. But don't worry about that just as yet, that small appartment is good enough for the first months or so.

The bigger the house, the more you can sell too btw.

I'm on there too, by the name of Fritti, if I'm ever one at the same time, I'll send a tell. I'm playing on euro time though, for some twisted reason I do enjoy the US servers.
